Mr.. Tory O(esen, for thirteen years a
teacher in our public schools, has been
appointed to clerkship in the war de-
partment at Washington. Considering
that Mr.. Olesen has won this position
solely on the strength of his record in a
civil service examination passed several
months ago, his appointment is not on
ly an honor to himself, but also to the
administration under which it was
made. He rendered his resie nation as
u teacher atthe last session of the board
of education, and upon accepting the
same, the board passed resolutions thank
ing Mr.. Olesen in the warmest terms
for his faithful and valuable services
during his connection with our schools.
We are informed by good authority
that at the salary offered there is per.
haps not one teacher in thousand who
can fill the position rendered vacant by
Mr.. Olesen's resi- siguation, so efficiently
as he has done; and although every eff
fort will be made to secure competent
successor, his withdrawal constitutes a
loss which under the circumstances it
may be impossible to repair. Mr.. Ole
sen intends to leave for Washington
| about the middle of this month. He
| will take with him the good wishes
of his numerous friends and of the com.
munity at large.

New Ulm succeeded in getting three of
the county commissioners to pass res
olution to erect at New Ulm S35, 600

ings are said to be in good order and
the best in this judicial district, with
